Sally Field says Burt Reynolds drooled in her face

Sally Field, former off-screen love interest of Burt Reynolds and co-star in the film Smokey and the Bandit, has revealed that Reynolds was not a great kisser.

During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Field shared the shocking detail about her relationship with Reynolds.

She said, “I try to look the other way and say, ‘that was just then,’ but he… it just was not something he did really well.” Field also revealed that there was a lot of drooling involved.

Field and Reynolds had an on-again-off-again relationship from 1976 to 1982 after they initially met on the set of Smokey and the Bandit.

Although Field did not divulge any juicier details about her relationship with Reynolds, she did talk about her upcoming films.

Field is starring in a new romance titled Spoiler Alert, as well as 80 for Brady, a new film also starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Tom Brady.

Spoiler Alert is a romantic tragicomedy based on journalist Michael Ausiello’s memoir.

The film also stars Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge.

Field will play Cowan’s mother, Marilyn, and she is likely glad that Burt Reynolds will not be a love interest in the movie.

Field recently spoke about how she had to push aside her personal experiences as an LGBTQ+ ally when portraying her character in Spoiler Alert.

Although Kit Cowan’s mother was wholly supportive of her son when he came out, Field felt that she shouldn’t draw too much on her own experience of her son coming out to her for the role.

Field’s youngest son, Sam, is gay and felt comfortable enough to come out to his mother as she explained.

But she also explained that, as an actor, it’s her job to draw on her emotional life.

She can’t let it influence her decisions as a character.

She shared that she has strong feelings about parents who don’t support their LGBTQ+ children or the community, but she had to shut out those feelings and make the world of the story work.

Field also revealed what she has drawn from her emotional experiences.

She collaborated with the cast and crew often when something didn’t feel right.

She was able to brainstorm what felt more natural for the character than what was written in the script.

In that way, she connected with her character by using her experience as a parent of a gay child during the coming out scene.

80 for Brady, on the other hand, is also based on a true story.

It follows four best friends and New England Patriots fans.

They decide to take a road trip to see their hero, Tom Brady, play in 2017’s Super Bowl LI. Chaos ensues, of course.

Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda reunite for this film, while Rita Moreno and Sally Field round out the quartet.

During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Field did not only talk about her upcoming films, but also about her career.

She had a long and successful career in Hollywood.

Field won two Oscars for her roles in the films Norma Rae and Places in the Heart.

She also starred in the popular television series Brothers & Sisters, which ran from 2006 to 2011.
